I can give you an answer for one condition.  If the tanks and bands are
dissimilar metals, you may get electrolytic corrosion between them when
they are used in salt water.  This is something that we have to be very
careful with in our boat equipment.  I don't know whether this corrosion
would become serious in the diving environment.  I have steel tanks and use
stainless steel bands.
